Stop stereotyping showman under umberella terminology

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Showman across the UK, have been misrepresented, and with out just cause.
We are openly being stereotyped under umberella terminology,

We do not want to be part of or know as part of the GRTSB,

It's our wish , that the "S" wich stands for showman in the above mentioned be dropped ,
It is our wish they officially see showman , as just that , and stop stereotyping us with other groups we do not belong in or to

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

The language people and organisations use is not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.

If the Government had a policy in respect of GRTSB we could accept a petition calling for this to be changed to exclude Showmen, but this does not appear to be the case.
